There will be a work party on Saturday, May 31st. We will meet at the lake at 9:00 AM. The main objective will be to get the lake ready for the Youth Outdoor Day being held on June 8th. Work will include trimming the banks of the lake from the west end of the campgrounds headed east, then around to the fishing dock on the north side of the lake.

Additionally, the rifle and pistol ranges will be cleaned up as necessary. Please bring your favorite weed-eating device. If you can’t attend on the 31st, feel free to stop by when you can and start without us. The more guys involved, the easier it is for all of us.

Hope to see you there.
Frank Burkett, NLFGC President

Youth Outdoor Day
June 8th
Be sure to sign up soon — see the flyer on our homepage.
We also need volunteers for this event to help with registration, group guides, etc.
Send an email to nlfgoffice@gmail.com if you would like to help.

The scouts are in need of certified instructors and range safety officers to help our scouts train for merit badges. This is an immediate need for the upcoming summer.

Please remember that if you bring a guest to the Club, you are responsible for instructing them on the rules and safe operation of firearms. If they are new to the shooting sports, set the targets at an appropriate distance for their skill level. It’s more fun shooting paper than PVC. There are far too many target frames being destroyed. Also, be kind to the next shooters and repair any damaged frames. Thank you.

There were several By-Laws changes proposed and discussed at the May 8th Membership meeting. These changes are now posted on the Club’s homepage. Please review them before the next meeting on June 12th. We will be voting on these proposals at that meeting.
